Chapter 28
Shandie’s frustration kicked in upon seeing how fake Arielle was, and she fainted right away.
Henrick knitted his brows and said, “What an embarrassment. Quick! Send her back to the hotel!”
Cindy shot daggers at him at first but immediately hid the disdain on her face. She then called a waiter to help carry Shandie away.
The sponsor did not expect Shandie to faint. Just when he was about to defuse the tension, a group of sponsors representing various coffee brands came over.
One of them said, “Would you like to be the ambassador for our brand? We’ll reward you handsomely.”
The other sponsor echoed, “Choose us, Miss. We’re a world renown brand!”
“Yeah, right! As if no one knows you’re just a company that sells cheap instant coffee!” another sponsor mocked. He then turned to Arielle and said, “Please work with us!”
More and more sponsors from different brands walked up to them. Some even started fighting amidst the commotion.
The situation spiraled out of control so quickly that the sponsors even pushed Henrick out of the crowd.
He was utterly at a loss for words.
Are these sponsors fighting to get my daughter to be their ambassador? My daughter who grew up in the country?
Well, well, well… Despite growing up in the countryside, she has a great charisma like me. I guess she takes after me.
Henrick looked at his daughter and nodded with a smile.
Shandie finally woke up when the waiter carried her to the entrance of the ceremony.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
She opened her eyes and noticed those sponsors had all surrounded Arielle. No one paid attention to her anymore.
All this happened because she wanted to challenge Arielle, thinking she would crush her in public.
But who knew, her plan had backfired.
Shandie felt a jolt of anger and fainted once again.
Shandie fainting for the second time made Cindy even more nervous. She could hardly pay attention to
Arielle anymore.
By the end of the awards ceremony, Arielle received a stack of name cards from representatives of different coffee brands.
Henrick eventually snatched the cards away and started going through them one by one.
Arielle responded with a sigh upon seeing the excitement on Henrick’s face. What have I gotten myself into? All I wanted was just to teach Shandie a lesson…
But she was still glad that she had successfully disturbed the family, and she knew the mother- daughter duo would not let her off easily.
Cindy had been trying to get rid of Arielle the moment she decided to return to the family. Arielle knew she would have to face Cindy head-on eventually.
Bring it on, Cindy. Bring it on!
Before leaving the ceremony, Henrick took out a card from his wallet and gave it to Arielle. “This is a supplementary card. If you’ve maxed out the other two cards, you can still use this.”
“Buy yourself some nice clothes and doll yourself up,” he added, “Don’t worry about the money.”
After a few perfunctory rejections, Arielle accepted the card.
The card would come in handy for her to investigate Henrick’s current assets.
Arielle had once hired a private investigator to find out more about her mother, Maureen. She eventually learned that Maureen had ten billion worth of liquidity in cash flow before she passed away.
So she was curious how much did the Southall Group own after they took over the Moore Group.
Arielle and her family soon got on a flight, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived back at Jadeborough.
They did not interact with each other when they stepped out of the airport.
Henrick had to leave for work, so his chauffeur was already waiting there to pick him up.
While waiting for their car to fetch them back to the manor, Shandie could no longer contain her anger anymore. She shot daggers at Arielle and warned, “My patience has limits. You’d better watch it.”
